In Brazil it is natural for families to get together on weekends to savor a good barbecue. Many homes have their own specific BBQ area and this paper model created by Brazilian designer and modeler Nigrafox, from Nigrafox Papermodels website,portrays to perfection of these constructions. All the details of a good barbecue area were replicated on paper. Nigrafox gave me the honor of posting this model here on the blog and I am very grateful for this. It's always a pleasure to show the work of friend modelers here from Brazil. Take a look at Nigrafox website, there you will find many models assembled by him, always with great care. Worth a look.

I "am in the paper modeling" since 2005, although I've had contact with paper models from my childhood in the 1970s, via magazines that were sold sporadically in newsagents. I remember magazines with houses to build and dioramas/playsets of airports, western forts, nativity scenes and the like. With the advent of the internet what happened was simply a revival of the papercraft hobby for me and many other people of my generation. Today I am opening a new session here on the blog, the Ephemeral Museum , which is a place where I will show some of the models that I built all these years. I would also like this to be a space where all modelers friends could show their work, so if anyone wants to participate in this "museum", just send photos of your work and a few words, if you want, to the e-mail:
